This is the view from the second story of Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) looking down at my friend from college days, Al Young’s, 1970 Dodge Challenger Drag Racer in which Al won a long list of local and international championship titles.

At eye level is the hydroplane Slo-mo-shun IV, which I saw race on Lake Chelan, Washington in the mid to late 1950’s. “Over the span of almost 10 years, Slo-mo-shun IV & V came out of obscurity to dominate the unlimited hydroplane racing world, and then just as quickly vanish from the competitive racing circuit.” (http://www.slomoshun.com/index.php)
